  1. Lol, no way I'm letting a fucking kangaroo win.

  3.  @ErdingerLi  Bruh, you could definitely beat up a harpy eagle.

  4.  @theonlineanimal6009  You have no idea what you're talking about. The average strength was perhaps slightly higher, because more people worked physical jobs. But you pass people far stronger than the average 500 years ago every day: all construction workers, bakers, gym goers, etc.

  5.  @Flesh_Wizard  Not the power, the speed. The pistol shrimp still wouldn't be able to hurt you.

  6. They don't. It's just that in that one instant, the camera guy could have been killed. You don't need a helmet when driving your car, but a helmet can still save your life.

  7. That's far from settled. It may well be that that's an exception and most humans hunted (if they did) via stealth and projective weapons. Endurance has benefits outside of hunting.

  8. Even if it was force, those kinds of numbers are meaningless without saying what precisely got measured how.

  9.  @theonlineanimal6009  >the average man used to be built like a construction worker Lol, nope. Perhaps you should read some older novels or get into anthropology or sth, depending on when exactly you think the average guy was as strong as a construction worker today. >Big. People have never been bigger than now. And the trend is towards greater height.

  10.  @themissakura599  That's not adaptation, that's just a pain signal ending. It takes weeks if not months for noticable changes in musculature and aerobic capacity.

  11.  @pestisthebestspaghettikeys6944  There's saws that cut through the casts for broken limbs, but not skin. Being squishy makes you more resilient, not less. Fishermen and scientists are clubbed by those shrimps and they're fine.

  12.  @HaizeyWings  Again, you're confusing speed with impact. If you guys boxed I think the confusion wouldn't be so big. The club accelerates very fast, but it's so light that it doesn't harm you.

  13.  @samwarner1612  That's completely wrong. And the video also explains why: strength comes at a cost.

  14. What are you going to do about it? While you are sitting on your ass the Orcas are gaining allies and developing weapons.

  15. You're unfathomably unlucky to be among the first couple of life forms to emerge rather than being among the septillions of the galactic civilization.

  16.  @godnyx117  The kangaroos doesn't stand a chance. They only wrestle standing up and they've never seen a double leg takedown. On the ground they're helpless. There's footage of a boxer hitting a kangaroo with a stick, but only when he takes it to the ground does he gain the upper hand.

  17.  @redplanet7163  >A chimpanzee can tear a human apart. Total bullshit. >They have far more muscle density and are way stronger than humans. Muscle "density" is irrelevant. If they were fat they wouldn't be weaker. An average adult male chimpanzee is probably a bit stronger than an average adult human male in a lot of lifts, but the strongest humans as stronger than the strongest chimpanzees.

  18. Birds practice singing and building nests, humans seem to learn the guitar for the same reason.

  19. Lol, nice try, Orca. Humans can recognize each other's voices.

  20. That's why we shouldn't trust them.

  21. I still do that to the cats and kids crossing my lawn.

  23.  @Noelle__vibes  I can't find a single case of a kangaroo coming out on top in a fight with a similarly sized person. An ex boxer fought a kangaroo for a while and ultimately won by bringing it to the ground. I do some grappling and weight around 80kg, the largest measured male red kangaroo being only 91kg. In conclusion there is very likely not a single kangaroo that stands a good chance in a fight against me.

  24. Humans aren't monogamous. Maybe serially monogamous at best.

  25.  @12time12  You've fallen for their propaganda. Orcas are determined killing machines, they are just biding their time.

  26. Citation needed.

  27. Orcas were created by god to punish salmon for their sins.

  29. They don't. A helmet can save your life. That doesn't mean you "need" a helmet.

  30. You "recued" him how? Honestly this just sounds like you want to make yourself important.

  31.  @killgoretrout9000  >and every one of them would get their ass whipped by a kangaroo You are completely out of it if you think any kangaroo can stand up to a Brian Shaw or Brock Lesnar. I can only find one prolonged (6 minute) fight between a dude and a kangaroo of similar size and the dude won. >humans are pretty weak for our size Citation needed. >because fine motor control counts for more than brute strength does when making tools. That's a cute story, but there's no reason you can't have both. Kangaroos don't lack the skills to make bifaces because they're too buff.

  32.  @samo6083  Wrong and wrong. Being a powerlifter doesn't automatically make you strong. There's plenty of short and/or female powerlifters that probably would get their asses handed to them by one of the largest kangaroos. At the same time there's no reason to think a kangaroo's fighting skills would allow it to beat a person of similar size to it. In fact I can't find even a single such case. Only once case of a man beating a kangaroo roughly his size.

  33.  @Trahloc  >A gorilla and chimp might be able to rip us in half Not even an elephant can rip you in half. You simply have no intuition for physics whatsoever. > I'd fear a teenage male human more in a rock throwing contest. I think you've just absorbed a bunch of internet cliches.

  34.  @Foreignmonk34  There were humans vs horse long distance races and the horses usually won.

  35.  @Piemasta9000  Wolves, caribu, horses, etc have better endurance. But yeah, humans are up there. Also why would you chase a cheetah of all things?

  36.  @o-wolf  Hominids were never fast. They were always slow as fuck and part of that is unavoidable standing upright on two legs.

  37. I consider myself more like a carrion feeder. Haven't really eaten live prey since the neighbor's daughter went for her frisbee.

  38. This channel keeps persuading me that we need to get rid of certain animals.

  39. Are you at the bottom of the ocean now or swollen to the size of a hippo?

  40. That changes absolutely nothing, because your sperm doesn't keep track of your exercise.

  41.  @Milliardo5  The ability to drink milk wasn't the result of someone's ancestors training it. It's the result of those, who got less sick from milk, having more children.

  42. We can feed you to the eagles as a consolation.

  43. The video said that they suck at eating gras, their main meal, that they are bad at moving slowly and that they die from being too swole.

  44. Dolphins are whales, you dork. : | Also - killer whale, because it kills whales? That's not how English works. They're not called kill-a-whales.

  45. Better to eradicate them long before that. They're already gaining allies.

  46. That's because water is soft.

  48.  @eu29lex16  Complete bullshit. A shark isn't any less "complex" than a human. It has the same kind of metabolism and accumulating damages as humans do.

  49.  @uteriel282  Total horseshit. I bet my ass the average college student is stronger than the average hunter gatherer. 500 years ago the average person was also stronger than the average hunter gatherer, precisely because smiths and farmers could build muscle far above the baseline of their ancestors. And I don't see a reason why other animals shouldn't be able to do that. At least in rats scientists demonstrated muscle gain through exercise.

  50.  @theonlineanimal6009  >obviously the further back you look. The stronger we were All of the hunter-gatherers we found where somewhere between skinny and skinny-fat. We've never found a tribe of swole people. If you work out at all, you could probably straight up bully 90% of your human ancestors. If you do some physically intensive job like stacking consumer items all day, you could probably bully 99% of your ancestors.
